Deatherage, <br />On befialf of Lafarge West, Ina (Lafarge), Applegate Group, Inc. requests a renewal of the <br />substitute supply plan for the Three Bells Pit, M-79-191. Enclosed is a check to the Division of <br />Water Resources for $217 for the renewal of this plan. This plan renewal is being submitted as <br />part of a combined plan with the adjacent Kyger Property, M-99-088. <br />The plan was most recently renewed by the SEO in a letter dated May 30, 2001. There have been <br />no changes at the site. The property is currently not being mined; and the only consumptive use <br />is evaporation-from a groundwater lake. , <br />Lafarge excavated a recharge pit on an umnined portion of the Three Bells Property and will <br />rechazge 5.0 Box Elder Ditch shares during the 2003 season. Due to the lagged historic <br />consumptive use credit, leases from the City of Greeley and the City of Fort Collins will make <br />replacements-for additional depletions. This combination of sources will make all replacements <br />for the depletions in the combined substitutesupplypian. <br />UPDATED CONSUMPTIVE USE <br />The only consumptive use at the Three Bells Pit is evaporation from 24.4 acres of exposed <br />groundwater. The total evaporative consumptive-use for the site remains at 61.5 acre-feet per <br />year (Table.No. 1): <br />BOX ELDER DITCH <br />Lafarge owns 8.5 shares in the Box Elder Ditch and will use 5.0 shazes in this combined plan. . <br />The historic consumptive use analysis for the 5.0 shares was completed in support ofan <br />augmentation plan and change of use for another Lafarge site in Case No. 02CW205: <br />Three Bells Property = 5.5 of 6.0 Box Elder Ditch Shares ' <br />The Three Bells Property is comprised approximately 344.3 acres of farmland. Lafarge presently <br />owns the 5.5 of the 6.0 shares historically utilized for irrigation of this property.
